"My husband and I are very pleased with the work Kenny Hunt and his assistant did on our backyard patio. He is prompt, professional and neat. He took great care to see that our lawn was not damaged and cleaned up the work area nicely. His quote was exactly what we paid. He's a hard worker and does an excellent job. We highly recommend Kenny and would hire him again if needed."

"The crew was absolutely amazing! Very impressed with how professional, polite, and personable they all were. The management and crews are top notch! Management answered all the questions I had, walked me through what steps they were going to take to get things done. Dustin was extremely thorough, knowledgable, and took time to explain the recommended systems. I will 100% be utilizing them in the future strictly based on the level of trust and quality he presented! His communication was fantastic, they always arrived on time. They were careful with the property, always cleaned up when they were done. I will absolutely hire them again to complete any future foundation/basement work and I will absolutely recommend this company without reservation or hesitation. They stand behind their work."

Customers say: True professional

"JDM is one of the best contractors I've ever worked with. They are my go to for all concrete works and I've used their services extensively. A 70'L x 12' tall 2'thick Keystone retaining wall with 2 bends, footings, a 100' sidewalk curb, 1200 sq feet of crushed stone leveling and ground prep. Thousands of sq feet of landscape grading. They've been been spot on every time. For example, the retaining wall, has both low point drainage and face drains, with stepped geogrid tiebacks. This is how a proper retaining wall is done. They even trimmed the geogrid fabric around the blocks 100% pro grade retaining wall. Get complimented on it by other contractors all the time. Footings were 2'round and 1'round dug 4' deep, well below frostline, positioned right on center for steel posts. Ironworker gave a "dang, these footings are dead nuts". The concrete walk had 2 vectors of fall, 2% linear fall and 1% lateral. There are relief scores every 6' and its edges properly shaped against chipping. Obviously mother nature doesn't play nice and poured concrete does its thing, so I bet I could bust out my micrometer and laser level and find some +-% somewhere, or some place where concrete leaked through forms. Its real life and poured material doesn't always obey. I read some bad reviews here and I must say, am surprised. If you communicate to Danelle and Melvin what you want done EXACTLY they will get it done to your speciifications as close as anyone I've worked with. Danelle shows up on time to do the estimates, bids are quick and fair, and the invoice has always been at or below bid. Melvin is a top tier foreman. Asks what you want before every job. He does exactly what you say, so some of the negative reviews could probably have been more thorough with their instructions. Specify depth, degree of fall, give them the architectural prints. You will get what you want. If you want precise results, give precise instructions, and JDM gives me the results I want every time, bar none. I'll build my retirement home on their concrete."

Customers say: Quick response

"We had a brick building from the 1910s where the bricks were deteriorating. In addition, another building next to ours was demolished and this created another dimension of repair on one side. When they arrived they worked quickly and provided great work with a very professional approach. We can't say enough good things to express our satisfaction."

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

For masonry work in Cedar Rapids, safety involves several steps: monitor weather conditions, especially during storm season; ensure workers use proper fall protection on scaffolding; confirm all underground utilities are marked before digging; minimize dust exposure from materials; and keep job sites clearly marked to protect pedestrians. Staying hydrated and following IA safety protocols are also essential for a safe work environment.

Helpful?

When selecting a masonry contractor in Cedar Rapids, prioritize those with proven local experience and up-to-date insurance. Check that they understand area-specific building codes, have expertise with Iowa’s climate, and use materials suited for freeze-thaw cycles. Request detailed project timelines, ask about their process for securing permits, and review recent local projects to gauge their workmanship.

Helpful?

In Cedar Rapids, homeowners often make mistakes like scheduling masonry work during cold months, selecting materials that don’t withstand Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycles, or skipping essential waterproofing. Overlooking the need for proper permits or hiring contractors unfamiliar with local soil conditions can also cause issues. Planning ahead and choosing experienced local professionals helps ensure durable, high-quality results.

Helpful?

In Cedar Rapids, the duration of masonry work depends on the project scope and weather. Brickwork or stonework for a home exterior generally takes 3–7 days, while chimney repairs often finish within 2–5 days. Patio or walkway installations are typically completed in 2–3 days. Scheduling projects between March and November helps avoid weather-related delays common in IA winters.

Helpful?

Your Cedar Rapids home is well-suited for masonry work if the foundation is stable, drainage directs water away from the structure, and there’s no significant frost or moisture damage. Homes with well-compacted soil and proper grading are ideal. If your property has experienced settling or water intrusion, a masonry contractor can assess and recommend solutions before starting the project.
